Rumor is Rose and Crown will be transition to some type of lounge experience instead of traditional table service. There are no longer reservations available beginning October 2nd. Will update once more information is available.

Is this because of the (I assume) crappy view of humongous? I used to regularly do dining packages there but not from the side of the viewing window
Might be part of it. There’s nothing available starting first week of October (also the start of the new fiscal year) for both regular dining and fireworks packages, in fact the firework package page is glitching out.
Interesting.
We would be more inclined to go there if indeed it was a lounge/pub type of place. I understand people enjoy the restaurant so I know my opinion is in the minority. I love Shepherd's Pie. We have a great place within walking distance here. But we never go at Epcot because the food is just too darn heavy to walk around Epcot after! So if we could pop in, relax with a drink, smaller plates, we'd probably enjoy it.
But I hope this isn't for true for the rest of the people who like to eat there.

So that means no where to eat at UK except eating standing up with one's fish and chips outside. Family has traveled to Europe including UK. Not exactly world class cuisine in London but one of UK's national dishes is courtesy of India, Chicken Tikka Masala. In London , chips with Indian curry was delish.

So if they are going to be offering small plates of UK food, might I suggest Scotch eggs ( UK Mp's love talking about scotch eggs!), sausage rolls, maybe some traditional cheeses and crackers or filled jacket potatoes! Garden view tea room hasn't re opened- maybe a traditional afternoon tea could be served at Epcot instead!

The British pubs are rapidly closing because they can't pay their energy bills. Rose and Crown may soon be a museum for a bygone era.
I'm with @dreday3 though, I always wanted to sit at the bar there but there are only 4 seats. A lounge model could really work for me. I guess I'm assuming they will have room for me.

Being British, I was pretty shocked at the interpretation of British food in the Rose & Crown. It was genuinely an atrocious representation.
I know all countries in the world showcase are romanticized versions, but does this maybe need to be assessed for all pavilions?

Whenever I'm in Britain and ask a Cabbie where to eat delicious, authentic British food, they direct me to an Indian restaurant half the time.

What ? Not Binley Mega Chippy?
Very true. The Indian food in London is top notch.

Besides Covid and enegy costs, Pub companies have been a major factor in over 5,000 closing in the past 5 years. It's an extractive lease that forces the tennants to purchase their supplies and beer through the leasing company at above market rates.

I don’t hate this idea, especially if there are small plates available.

Haha - I mean, can’t disagree. Not arguing we’ve got the best food in the world.
But Rose and crowns interpretation of a Tikka Masala is disgusting and and insult to both Britain and probably India where I doubt they even eat it!

Eh ... what ... London is the second European capital city with the most Michelin starred restaurants at 70 in total.

Speaking of Indian food in the UK, spent a good amount of time there last month, and multiple parties (including one closer to Manchester and Edinburgh) said I had to try Dishoom. It didn't disappoint!
In comparison, haven't eaten a proper meal at Rose & Crown in 15+ years, but this idea sounds fun.

The bigger insult is the food in the France pavilion. Disgraceful compared to what you’d actually find in Paris. The boulangerie is the only location that even approaches anything in Paris.
When we travel we eat where the locals eat ( ie London taxi drivers are right- good UK food is Indian dining, thousands of Indian restaurants in the UK, ). What is not our thing is about a Michelin star whatever dining, but a number of them are Indian restaurants . Sad that Rose&Crown can't even make a decent Chicken Tikka Masala , one of the national dishes of UK.
